696 Blued=596 w/Model 24 style barrel

[44Fundi]

Just as I said I want a 696 L frame 5 shot cylinder gun but Blued (596) and with a traditional looking Model 24 style barrel instead of that newer full lug barrel on the 696. This would be the perfect winter concealed carry gun for the Rocky Mountains!

Oh, and if its got a the internal lock forget it

That would make a very classy carry gun! I'd buy one for sure.

Ruger is building a 357 Framed Blackhawk in 44 Spl. This might spur Smith into action.

I dunno, the bead blast and full lug feel nice to me...

RobO, Every time I see that 691 of yours I get all giddy.

I thought you might like to see Jim Stroh's version of the 696/596 Mountain Gun...Jim is a member of the American Pistolsmith's Guild.

Give me one just like Strohs only in blue and I will buy two.
